Anyone score any of the Barton or Poyferre before WS blew up the spot? My local store just quoted me on the Leoville Barton at $189/bottle. I had a hardy laugh at that but am still looking. Didnt know if anyone had any barrel or bottle tastings to corroberate the recent reviews.

Yup, I have one bottle of the 2003 Leoville Poyferre that I ordered as futures at $59.99
(also 2 bottles of the 2002 Leoville Poyferre and 3 bottles of the 2002 Leoville Barton.) Looks like the one bottle of '03 Leoville Poyferre was the only '03 Bordeaux I ordered.

Eng, Good price on the Leoville Barton. Our wholesale price from the distributor is about twice that now. We have a futures program, and those who order through that route are much happier now, than those who want in at current prices.

I managed to find a 00 Barton and am anticipating trying it. I did see a 03 for $67 on winehotel.com but then when I called (next day) they said it was gone and so was their web entry for it. Of all the luck!
